NFL '13 SEASON THREAD

[BlueSky]

And if the Saints lose, the Panthers are tied atop the division.

You were saying?

Lee is limping off. That would be a big time issue for Dallas if he's out. Also, how the hell wasn't that a late hit against New Orleans on Harris?

Definitely 1) never should have happened and 2) should have been penalized. I was stunned when the refs missed that. I'm a Saints fan but want the game called fairly and that was a huge miss.

Flynn came into that game and did, essentially, nothing. He was rather solid the next week against the Patriots, and the value of that was blown up a bit because it was a SNF game.

And, of course, the 480 yard/6 TD game against the Lions.

Flynn made millions of dollars because he played two good games as a starting QB. Not bad money if you can find it.

That's EXACTLY what's going to happen to Nick Foles

I'd be optimistic to say the Redski s are going to win the NFC East. But, I honestly don't see it happening. We get SF and KC later in the year. 2 Giants games and we're probably going to blow 1. Then Dallas at home and Philly on the road. I believe they're probably looking at 7-9 right now. But I'd take the Eagles to win right now, Dallas will choke it away in December.

[HetaliaDenmark]

Colts are not doing too bad. 6-3 I was surprised when they lost to the rams though.

[BigEd76]

Hold on. Foles has had more good games than Flynn already. He's up to 3!

[Lights Out]

That game was hard to watch. Sigh...to be a Cowboys fan.

Saw this stat on reddit, kinda interesting: Cowboys are 133-133 since 1997. 8-8 last two seasons. Are basically .500 against the Eagles over the last 10 years (10-9). They are the golden standard of football mediocrity.

The Chargers have the Cowboys beat for mediocrity. San Diego's franchise win/loss record to date is 403-399-11 (not counting playoffs). That's about as mediocre as it gets.

Speaking of which...

Matt Flynn has Green Bay Packers workout Monday

Apparently he has a bum elbow, but he can't possibly be any worse than Seneca Wallace.

As a Wisconsin grad, I was hoping to see Scott Tolzien play well. Considering the circumstances, he was not horrible (though that end zone pick was pretty bad). It was weird kinda pulling for the Packers

Plus, they had arguably the best NFl team from 06-09 and still couldn't even MAKE a super bowl. I would argue about the Redskins being mediocre, but simply put. There are a lot more mediocre teams than the Redskins.

[dbadefense1990]

Division rules I can go along with. I prefer records dictating home field, not divisional rank.

In-conference record, though, is legit. Not that I think you're complaining about that as much as just noting how that's why the game was in San Francisco and not New Orleans.

Nah, having the division champs get a home game is fine with me. 3/8 of your schedule is against your division, which means that winning the division should be rewarded appropriately. It also means you control your destiny. Sweep your division games and you're going to have a hard time losing said division.

"We'll show you!"

The only year since 2002 where the Raiders didn't finish below .500, and they fire Tom Cable and proceed to suck weed to this day.

It's probably because the Redskins haven't been mediocre since 1997, they've been awful. Since 1991, their last Super Bowl, they've had only 2 division championships.

While in that same span, the Cowboys have 8, the Eagles have 6 and the Giants have 5.

BOOM! You've been dfwabel-ed

Unrelated topic: I seriously hope Sean Lee's hamstring injury isn't that serious. Without him, our defense is literally god-awful. With him, we're way better.

Get back to me when the Cowboys are starting John Beck and Rex Grossman.

[vicfurth]

Wait, you tried to insult him by playing into his argument that your teams no good?

Snerk, that's funny.

[IceCap]

Trent Dilfer's a clown.

Back in the 90's, Rob Johnson got $25M from the Bills with ONE start under his belt... it didn't end well.

I get it, the Lions haven't been the most competitive team over the years (and that's being generous). But Brandon Marshall just sounds a little butt hurt right now: http://espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/story/_/id/9962926/brandon-marshall-chicago-bears-calls-detroit-lions-play-borderline-illegal

For clarification: borderline illegal is legal. Maybe protect your QB better? Thought it was a good game, no matter how sloppy it got. Always like playing Chicago.

Talked to most of the Chicago fans after the game, they were the same way. No good game, no way to go. It was well you're team is dirty, they cheated to win. Like really?

[ninersdd]

Geez, Mike James gets off to a great start for Tampa, and he's carted off.

Nice catch by Donald Penn of all people.

[Kramerica Industries]

Yeah, but compared to Stamkos, that's just like a spit in the bucket.

And Gruden should have some fond memories thanks to the Penn TD, because he did that with Warren Sapp at least a couple of times.

[FiddySicks]

Great first half for the Bucs if you take away Deshaun Gholdson derping it up on that last drive. They've gotta cut that :censored: out, STAT.
